I have added more classic car pictures to my portfolio. The new classic car pictures are from the recent Classic Car Show in London.
The London Classic Car Show is a great event with so much to see, its difficult to get around in a single day. This was my first visit to this show and it turned out to be quite surreal. There was a Comic-Con event on in an adjacent hall and there were hundreds of extravagantly costumed people walking around! I dont know if the events are usually on at the same time, but it was a great unexpected surprise. The lengths some of these guys n gals go to emulate their heroes has to be seen to be believed!
Anyway, back to the classic cars! As with a lot of these events, the halls were heaving with people. As mentioned earlier, you really need two days if you want to see everything. I loved talking to the owners in the Owners Club hall. Some of the restorations are an absolute credit to their owners and I love it when they want to engage with photographers and tell their story. Perhaps that is the reason I need two days to get around cos I spend too long gassing!
Many of the pictures from the show will be used as base material for new digital art pictures (see below for more details) with a selection made available to licence via Alamy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

I have recently been working on some digital art pictures featuring various classic cars. The two digital art pictures below have just been added for sale to the wall art and gift collection.
The first is a Marcos Mantis followed by an Austin 16/6. Alongside each picture is a closer in view of the finer details of the digital art effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”new-classic-car-digital-art-pictures”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]More classic car digital art pictures will be added over the coming weeks so why not subscribe to the newsletter to hear first about the updates?

I have another sizeable batch of editorial stock pictures featuring more 1970s and 80s railway scenes, modern aircraft from air displays this past summer, general modern railway scenes and a number of autumn themed pictures.
This batch should be ready for upload towards the end of next week or early the following week.
All of these upcoming releases will be added as editorial stock on Alamy but a number will also be suitable for wall art and adding to gift products.
Thanks for reading
Cheers for now

Sunday 20th September saw the 5th Hinckley Classic Car Show. The event showcases a wide array of classic cars and bikes.
The display area stretched the full length of Castle Street through the market Square and along Regent Street. Cars from every decade were on show to satisfy the huge crowds that turned out in massive numbers. It was great to see the look of joy and wonder on faces young and old. I haven’t seen Hinckley so busy for many years.
There were classic vehicles of every type and shape on view including the classic Morris, VWs, Minis and sports cars. Bike fans were also well catered for with dozens of Vespas and Lambrettas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Below are a couple of short videos showing a selection of the Classic Cars. All my videos can be seen over on my GDMK Images youtube channel.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI0MjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGX00wdEZqN3RXeHclMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/zkumd-iP2gY”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One surprise was the lack of trade and enthusiast stalls. With the significant crowds this was surely an oversight by the organisers. There must have been other local businesses, including mine, that would have benefited from this niche market. Also I noticed traders open on Rugby Road but the barriers at the end of Regent Street seemed to deter the crowds from wandering along to their shops. That definitely needs looking at for next year. With space for visiting cars stretched to the limit, here was an overlooked opportunity to accommodate some of the unexpected visitors that struggled to find space in the main display area.
Below is a selection of images I took and are available for editorial use from Alamy and picfair.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”hinckley-classic-car-show”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I found plenty of inspiration for new digital art creations as motor vehicles and bikes are underrepresented in my portfolio.
The classic cars and bikes were a real tribute to their owners and their hard work and effort. Some of the customisations and paint jobs were simply stunning. Even the standard models, some 40, 50 even 60 years old looking as good as the day they rolled off the production line.
Even the weather obliged by providing some beautiful late summer sunshine! All in all the car show was very good and deserves to become a full time fixture on the classic car show scene.
